The Crossing · Journey III

The Still Point

The Highlands · Nine nights, ten days · Eight guests · four rooms

High summer — July & August

The open highland meadow at Prijevor, beneath Maglić in Sutjeska

St John's wort steeped on the plateau, gentian and juniper from the old-growth mountains — walking days, shepherd tables, a medieval village on a canyon rim, ending in the primeval silence of Sutjeska.

The plant thread

Hypericum perforatum · Gentiana lutea · Juniperus

St John's wort in flower, Hypericum perforatum
Great yellow gentian in flower, Gentiana lutea
Common juniper foliage, Juniperus communis

St John's wort gathered on the plateau and set to steep in oil, turning red across the days; gentian and juniper from the old-growth mountains — a highland plant layer gathered on the walking days, the slowest and highest of the three grounds.
